occupancy of the Austrian mission, and to
President Cleveland's appointment of Gen.
LawtOn as Minister to Russia, and Gen.
Jackson to the Mexican mission. In regard
to Gen. Lawton's recent appointment it says
the appointment is fully up to the high
standard of the present administration. Gen.

of the old school, a Democrat of the sect of
jefferson, a finished scholar, and in every
way equipped by education and training to
reflect credit on his country abroad. AL
